Verse 1

sickly surrender to

 cola remember machines

shaky somnambulist shiver

 out all your screams

go to the room with the

 chair and wait for your life

 scared that the voices i

 hear may never be mine

Verse 2

seven december a paper

 back letter recalls

you knew such happiness crashing

 her loveliness one wedded fall

cutting through gray where you're

 holding the pages amazed

cutting the picture to

 ribbons in winter parades

Chorus 1

cold new dawn put something on

 you're thinking faster than i run

 now the more i get connected

 the less i know who i am

 and it feels like i'm the only one

Verse 3

 the month has gone rabbits the

 winter is taking my life

am i a passenger passing through

 scenes in someone else's life

cold will outlast me

 apartments are castles in space

warm with the void holding

 court in a four poster grave

Chorus 2

pale new dawn put something on

 i hate the shape of things to come

 now the more we get connected

 the less i know who you are and

i dont' think you thought that far

Bridge

they gave you a food stamp

 for the air sucking

 wound in your chest

all the best all the best

 Intelrude: --------

Verse 4

 strange pale fighter you

 only grow lighter in time

willfully silent declaring yourself

 with your cold scribbled rhyme

making her find you beneath

 all the skin of your mind

 she's digging towards nothing

 a hollowed out center in time

Chorus 3

pale new dawn put someone on

 i hate the shape of all you want

 now the more you get connected

 the less i get who you are

 but i don't want to think that hard

Outro

it's a lonely way to live

when you take what you

 give and you don't give in

in a nation of promises

your anonymous promises
